Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors

Melbguy1, That is an odd assement that you believe I could not hear a substantial difference between the furutech GTX-D Rhodium and Gold, you have never listened to my system, the difference was big enough I made my decision on what I wanted to have, maybe you should a/b the two wpo's, you may be suprised that their is a substantial difference, I understand some may prefer the gold, you will never know untill you did what I have, audition the both of them for a month or so, you may end up still liking the gold better, who know's, we each prefer diferent sound from one to the other, that's like I cannot really comment about your speaker's against some JBL speaker's, I have never had both in my system to hear what work's best to my liking, cheers.

Melbguy1, "gross and non-sense comments" are those calling others whom are not sharing the same thoughts as dummies. Using f. words as abbreviation, to express and push their non-sense logic. The bottom line is to respect other Audiogon fellow's opinion even though if is not the same as ours.

As for the articles and generally the reviews, I need to add that I don't believe on them. Most of reviewers are biased toward certain brands (go find why!!???!). If not. their system is totally different than ours, therefore their opinions on a particular product should not be generalized. Obviously, one could learn some stuffs from those reviews but accepting a review as is, it is not advised. Of course, some sites/journals are more honest like tonepublication, soundstage and the absolute sound. others that I usually don't trust, are like Stereomojo, steretimes, daggo, etc..., their reviews mostly consist of saying hey, it is a good product ... without going through any concrete detail and or/and any comparisons. Once again this comment is only my personal opinion, not a rule.

As for this funny battle of Gold vs. Rhodium, one should express his/her system and related experience to inform other audiogon fellows on their path toward perfectness. If that experience is different compared to any other person, so be it!!! One could feel to be musically more connected toward a Gold ac plug or Rhodium Ac plug, so be it! Our audio systems and our taste for music genre, are different from one to another, therefore we might prefer Gold over Rh. and vice versa, so be it!!! I use mostly Gold plated Ac plugs, some Rhodium ones and very recently some Silver plated plugs, dependent on power cable material, source device, power conditioner, So be it !!! If someone is happy with his audio system plugged either with silver, Gold, Copper, bronze or Rhodium, SO BE IT!!!!

Michaelzay, so you did get those outlet's you told me about in earlier post, how is that working out?, can you tell me about your impression's, thankyou.

Michaelmas, firstly you should think before you falsely accuse other members of using profanity. Secondly, you are very attached to the phrase "so be it". Perhaps you are a fan of the film 'Pump up the volume'? Thirdly, are you a frustrated academic or something? Your lengthy, but flawed essay was little more than sermon in mediocrity. It seems like too arcane a concept for you to grasp that Audiolabyrinths's findings could be correct in the context of his system, yet potentially misleading for other members relying on his commentary before waiving their credit card. Yawn, onto another thread...

melb, Michaelzay is a well seasoned audiophile I respect, he know's more about outlet's and connector's than the both of us do!, I have garnished alot of info from him, he helped me!, If I were you, ask him question's about all of this, he is my teacher, he has not been wrong thus far, though on connector's, pending on the componet sound, not tube or solid state, he has mixed to good success.
